Patented Jan. 28, 1930 SAMUEL J. DANERHIRSCH, OF MONTCLAIR, NEW JERSEY PICKER WITH. LEATHER NOSE Application filed February 29, 1928. Serial No. 257,844.

My invention relates to improvements in the kind of loom-pickers used in connection with reciprocating pickersticks; in its development I had the following objects in mind:

1st, to make such a picker, having its body formed in a single piece of homogeneous material and a part connected thereto to receive the shuttle impact having different properties than the body;

2nd, to make the picker as light as possible to over-come the disadvantages of excessive momentum in the reciprocating movement;

3rd, to provide a dulling of the effect of the blow at the point of impact of the shuttle;

4th, to reinforce the dulling the solid part of my picker.

I attain these objects by the mechanism illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which:

Figure 1 shows my picker assembled in parallel perspective.

Figure 2 is a top view of my picker with the nose member thereof removed.

Figure 3 is a top view of the nose member of my picker removed from the picker body.

Similar numerals refer to similar parts thruout the several views of the drawing.

The solid part 4- is cast or molded or otherwise formed in a single piece in a homogeneous mass, either a resinous material, such as bakelite a light casting of metal or any other suitable substance; the shape of this part is substantially rectangular and in this respect corresponds to the customary form of such pickers, but it is a little shorter in the front Where the protruding points 9 are molded or cast substantially as a unit with this part, and the sides of this part are recessed at 6 to receive the sides of the nose shown in Figure 3.

That nose consists of shell 7 in which are assembled by a suitable adhesive material the inserts 8.

These parts 7 and 8 are assembled with the solid part 4 by any suitable fastening means such as rivets 10, the points 9 serving as additional holding means. The whole assembly forms an enclosure of substantially material by rectangular shape from which protrudes lug opening in which serves to extend the bearing surface one of the shorter sides of the rectangular part 4. In my improvement is lug tangular piece 4, and it is cast or molded or otherwise formed as a un1t with the latter.

to-day, are ter1al, such as raw-hide, leather prepared, assembled fabrics.

ve to to would be the impact, if the shuttle should strike a more resistant material.

WVith such a rebound the mechanism of the loom could not effectively throw back the shuttle on the return motion the reciprocal stroke. But owing to the disadvantages of the above named inert materials as active parts of machinery,-the

adually yield, warp under exposure to thc atmosphere, draw vermin, and under the pounding action their organic structure is killed and is subject to rapid deterioration,I am usingthem only at the point Where ne tegrally from cessary, shaping the rest of the picker ina homogeneous material used greater advantage where the function is essentially that of moving machine-parts.

on standard machinery,

My improvement being primarily intended a replacement part,

it does not show novelty in the outline of its form and its new features can readily be incorporated in the design of the various prevailing types. I am able to effectthis adaption, because for th th th th of e picker nose I use an inert material which, ough used in a restricted space affords all e shock absorbing qualities necessary in e picker. Choice leather or a multiplicity layers of a fabric of great tensile strength may be used for the outer strap of the nose; however I have attained the best results with arp leather which owing to its unique interwoven structure can effectively be used thin layers for this purpose for my picker.

for pickers used now 5 forms an integral part of the reca at one end, a

The inserts may be of carefully graded strips of leather of dilferent degrees of hardness and softness in transverse layers, to form a compactlaminated cushioning element between the lug 5 and shell or strap 7 of the picker nose, or I may use an inert slug of non-resilient properties, like raw-hide, lead, etc.

1. A picker, consisting of an integrally formed picker body of molded, homogeneous material, of rectangular, looped formation, with parallel opposite sides having recesses at one end, a lug at said end between and integral with the sides of said body, a slug com prising a plurality of layers of inert material, adjacent said lug and covering said lug and end of said body, an inert strap titted into said recesses and covering said slug, and means securely fastening said slu and strap in operative relation to the looped body.

2. A picker, consisting of an integrally formed picker body of molded, homogeneous material, of rectangular, looped formation, with parallel opposite sides having recesses at one end, a lug at said end between and integral with the sides of said body, a slug of inert material, adjacent said lug and covering said lug and end of said body, an inert substantial- 1y U-shaped nose fitted into said recesses and covering said slug, and means securely fastening said slug and nose in operative relation to the looped body.

3. A picker, consisting of an integrally formed picker body of molded, homogeneous material, of rectangular. looped formation, with parallel opposite sides having recesses at one end, a lug at said end between and integral with the sides of said body, a series of pointed holding members substantially integral with and on said end of said body, a slug comprising a plurality of layers of inert material, adjacent said lug and covering said lug and end of said body, an inert strap fitted into said recesses and covering said slug, and means securely fastening said slug and strap in operative relation to the looped body.

4. A picker, consisting of an integrally formed picker body of molded, homogeneous, resinous material, of rectangular formation, with parallel opposite sides having recesses at one end, a lug at said end between and integral with the sides of said body, a slug comprising a plurality of layers of inert mate rial, adjacent said lug and covering said lug and end of said body. a shark leather strap fitted into said recesses and covering said slug, and means securely fastening said slug and strap in operative relation to the looped body.

5. A picker, consisting of an integrally formed picker body of molded, homogeneous, resinous material, of rectangular formation, with parallel opposite sides having recesses lug at said end between and integral with the sides of said body, a slug comprising a plurality of layers of inert material, adjacent said lug and covering said lug and end of said body, an inert strap titted into said rece and covering said slug, and means securely fastening said slug and strap in operative relation to the looped body.
